REASONABLENESS OF THE
CITIZENS LEAGUE.


The reasonaDleness of the expressed
purpose of the citizens league in this
city will be conceded by every intelli-
gent man and woman. It declares the
laws must be obeyed. Where is the
man among us who will venture 10 say
the laws ought not to be obeyed? He
who declares that sentiment is not
loyal citizen. There can be no good
government without the enforcement
of law. The law regulating the traffic
in intoxicating liquors is as old as the
government. Wisconsin has had
government, territorial and state, for
more than fifty years, and although the
passion for Intoxicating beverages has
been quite general, there has been no
serious attempt TO repeal the statutes
restricting the sale of intoxicating
liquors. The lovers of strong drink
have taken it for granted that laws
regulating the sale are necessary.
Since the organization of the citizens
league in this city class of directors
have been resurrected who revive the
long repudiated theory that laws re-
straining the sale to particular classes
of persons are an interference with the
rights of lawful business; that the
seller is not responsible to the buyer
for the use he makes Of the article
purchased. If the buyer choose to use
the liquor he purchases to his own
hurt he alone must take the conse-
quences. This is not the reasoning of
intelligent men; it discards the plan
and long-established principle that
actions must be held responsible for
their consequences. There can be no
persons among us so stolid as not to
know that selling intoxicating drinks
to boys fits them to become drunkards,
and that the sale in general is produc-
tive of evil. Will any intelligent man
declare that this city is advantaged
morally, religiously, socially. educa-
tionally or pecuniarily by the sale of
intoxicating liquors? If there be one
or more redeeming qualities, it should
have the benefit of it. These are not
questions for the saloon keepers alone
to answer, but for the people as well.
The saloon men should be held ac-
countable for violations of the law;
the whole blame for the consequences
of the liquor traffic should not all be
cast on the saloon men; the people
stand behind them and sanction their
business through their chosen repre-
sentatives.

THEOLOGICAL CONTROVERSY

THEOLOGICAL CONTROVERSY.
1t is generally known that a relig-
iOus controversy has sprung up in the
churches on what is the condition of
the heather after death who have
never heard of Christ or had the offer
of salvation in this life. 1t will ap-
pear strange to some people why so
much Importance should be attached
to theory of this kind as to threaten
division of churches. But all past
history has shown that religious con-
troversies often grow out of small diff
ferences of opinion, which are magni-
fed to enormous proportions in the
minds of some people. On no one
subject has there been so much profit
less debate as on religious non essen
tials. Barrels full of sermons have
been preached, and hundreds of vol
umes of books printed. discussing
points of doctrine SO fine that scores of
readers could not discover any point
at all 1t is singular that many APP
parently good men warm up in debate
over some dogma of belief of no prac-
tical Importance to the christian life
and character. People who expect to
go to the better world. because they
have chosen nicely formulated creed
for :heir religious standard, may find
it poor passport to the happier here.
after. 1t is the life and not the creed
that uplfts humanity. Creeds are not
to be held of no account; creeds en-
bodying the principles of right living
are essentials TO the organization of
churches. The remark often heard,
/" No matter what you believe. if you
only live right" is an unsafe maxim.
He who has no fixed rule of moral
action is at sea, and is liable 10 iEcon-
sistencies.
The present religious controversy
here referred TO has grown out of a
hypothesis entertained by the Profess
sors of Andover Theological Seminary,
a Congregational institution. in respect
to the condition of the heather after
death. The Calvinistic creed which
the Andover professors are required
to teach maintains that those who
never heard of the gospel cannot be
saved, "be they never so diligent to
frame their lives according to the light
of nature" The Andover professors
take the liberal side, and tolerate the
indulgence of the hope that a merciful
Being will not send the millions of
heathens into everlasting punishment
for not believing on Him of whom they
have never heard; but that after death
there is a possibility of their having an
offer of salvation, which was denied
them in this life. 1t was for this d.
vergence from the creed that the pro-
feSS0rS, f1ve IN number, were cited to
appear before board some eight
months ago. A trial was had and
testimony taken in respect to the teach
ings in the Seminary. No decision was
reached until little over a week ago. |
One of the FIVE professors has been de-
posed from office, and TIE others left /
unmolested. The board of trustees of |
the Seminary have examined the evi.
dence in the case, and unanimously,
with one exception. acquit all the pro.
fessors from teaching doctrines incon-
sistent with the creed. The decision
does not satisfy, and it is said the case
will now be taken to the Supreme
Court. The controversy has by no
means been allayed by the recent deci-

ARREST WITHOUT WARRANT.


ARREST WITHOUT A WARRANT.
This morning the Court In General Term Chief
Justice Bingham and Justices James and Merrick)
resumed its sessions. In the case Of Bright agt.
w. W. Patten, MIA Mary E. Hunt, and Oricer b.
T. Rhodes, Judge James delivered the opinion OF
the court. The plaintiff, a colored girl at the
Howard University, was suspected OF the larceny
Of $15 from student. and the frst-named defend
ants called on the third and stated their suspi-
c1OnS. The girl was arrested, but subsequently
was discharged from custody, and she sued for
false Imprisonment, and a verdict was found
against the three persons named for $500. The
two first claimed that they gave no directions to
make the arrest, and the oficer claimed that, hav
ing reasonable ground for the belief that the lar
ceny was committed by the plaintiff, the arrest
was Justifable The judge, In his opinion, dis
cussed the power to make an arrest. Under the
common law an arrest is Justthable without a
warrant when felony has been committed, and
an officer would be justified In acting on 1nforma-
uOn in relation thereto Petit larceny was at
common law regarded as felony, but here the
punishment was Imprisonment in the Jail, and the
legislature had, by The punishment prescribed,
taken 1t out OF that class OF onenses In which an
officer was justified in acting without warrant.
They, Therefore held that in this case theIe was
not the necessity for the Oficer making the arrest
and that he should have procured warrant; and
they affirmed the judgment below.
